Captain Sparky - A Song For Sad Friends Lyrics
I saw the dust clouds in your eyes,While we stood on pillars ten feet high.And I watched the flesh fall off your knife,While you fly the storm just like a kite.But these days you just ebb and sway,Like our old city filled with cranes.And I held you up above the sky,So you could tell me what it was like,And I held you up above the sky,But you still tell me it's just night.And now you walk around so desperately,A shallow reflection of what you used to be,You're becoming these streets,Twenty odd years of facing defeat.Well when I'm older I swear,I will never grow grey hair,And when I'm older I swear,Nothing will be unfair,And when I'm older I swear,My wings will take me everywhere,And when I'm older I swear,I will take you with me.Because that's what friends do.Unconditionally.
